Chhatron Ki Goonj

SAVE EDUCATION, SAVE THE FUTURE

Rahul Gandhi launched a nation-wide student campaign in Kota to highlight the crisis in our education system and protect the future of our youth. Stressing that the event was not political, he focused on what students are up against: limited career paths, intense competition and pressure, and a crushing financial burden. He noted that the cost of NEET coaching alone cost parents Rs 1.3 lakh crore, which rivals the Centre’s entire education budget.

During the event, Rahul Gandhi also spoke to affected students and parents, and also invited young people to share their own ideas for fixing the education system.
